Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together Reviews
Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together is certainly an improvement over its predecessor. There are new dishes, significant improvements such as dish preparation and most importantly, you can play it together with a friend. That is ultimately what the title refers to, Better Together. But for Better Together you must have a game where you do not encounter obstacles such as annoying bugs such as not having a good grip on your knife or rearranging a kitchen once your preparation time has started. If this all gets fixed, you can add a point.

Overall, Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together is a masterfully crafted cooking simulation game. I must stress this is a very in-depth simulation, not a casual cooking game. You will have to expertly season all your food correctly, prepare all your ingredients, have a station ready to go, and order correctly for the day before you even think about managing the business side of the restaurant. There are hours of fun in the game if this is what you are into.
Cooking Simulator 2: Better Together has intricate cooking and recipe creation mechanics, and its campaign mode will likely appeal to those who want a nice, involved restaurant simulation from the perspective of the chef. However, it differs drastically from the first game and is full of bugs, odd design choices, and an overall unfinished feel that might keep returning fans away and make it harder for new fans to immerse themselves.
